Neimann Pick

42
Q

lysosomes are produced from

A

vesicles budding off the Golgi

43
Q

what is the pathophysiology of the “cherry-red” macula?

surrounding ganglions become opaque due to accumulation of undigested gangliosides

44
Q

caused by defects in GlcNac phosphotransferase

A

I cell disease
